In Memory: RICARDO MONTALBAN dies at 88

From 1978 to 1984 we listened to him say, "I am Mr Roarke, your host. Welcome to Fantasy Island"
Very few knew he was involved with Broadway Musicals. He was nominated for a 1957 Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for "Jamaica" opposite Lena Horne.
He toured in the role of the King in the musical, "King & I" in 1965.
He appeared in the movie musical, "Sweet Charity".
He played villians in Disney's "Zorro", Star Trek's Wrath of Khan and even in Naked Gun.
He was in 2 "Planet of the Apes" movies
And he played Antonio Banderas' father-in-law in Disney's "Spy Kids" movies. I have always admired this man's and his wonderful career!
